SuEzanne takes you down
to her place near the river
You can Ahear the boats go by,
you can spend the night beside her
And you Eknow that she's half-crazy,
but that's why you wanna be there
And she G#mi feeds you tea & oranges
that come Aall the way from China
And just Ewhen you mean to tell her
that you Ahave no love to give her
Then she Egets you on her wavelength
and she F#mlets the river answer
That you've Ealways been her lover
And you G#miwant to travel with her,
and you Awant to travel blind
And you Eknow that she will trust you,
For you've Atouched her perfect body with your Emind
And Jesus was a sailor, when he walked upon the water
And he spent a long time watching from his lonely wooden tower
And when he knew for certain only drowning men could see him he said
'All men will be sailors then, until the sea shall free them'
But he himself was broken, long before the sky would open
Forsaken, almost human, he sank beneath your wisdom like a stone
And you want to travel with him, and you want to travel blind
And you think maybe you'll trust him,
For he's touched your perfect body with his mind
Now Suzanne takes your hand and she leads you to the river
She is wearing rags & feathers from Salvation Army counter
And the sun pours down like honey on Our Lady of the Harbour
And she shows you where to look among the garbage & the flowers
There are heroes in the seaweed, there are children in the morning
They are leaning out for love, & they will lean that way forever
While Suzanne holds the mirror
And you want to travel with her, and you want to travel blind
And you know you can trust her,
For she's touched your perfect body with her mind
